Although I still feel like I have not yet crossed the bridge in understanding some ideas around my driving question, I have acquired new knowledge that is helping me better understand where I want to go with my questions and interests. From making sense of Dervin’s sense making ideas, to Clark’s and Baggio’s strategies, I am starting to develop an idea of where I want to go next. From all the readings, Baggio has made the most sense to me and provided a more clear and relevant view of where I might want to go with the development of my product. Even though I still have questions as to what I can do, I have many tools that I want to apply to my product presentation from Baggio’s visual insights. I really enjoyed how the simplicity that Baggio mentions in the text is modeled even through the book itself. This text truly provided relevance to me as a reader and I was able to connect not only to what I should do in the classroom but also to my personal life; which is powerful based on what both Clark and Baggio mention in their books. I would like to continue looking into Baggio’s and Clark’s practices as I think about my plan this semester. My idea initially revolved around having students create video lessons, but now I am wondering how I as a teacher can create video lessons effectively following Baggio’s practices. It would still include the technology aspect of using video but would focus more on the teacher as a user as well as students benefiting from the products’ results. I don’t know if this is thinking outside of the box since many people have done this already and there are sites that are doing this as well, but I am excited to see where this can go. Until I have my 1:1 meeting I am still thinking about what would be the best way to go from where I left off with my research.

Out of those three authors, Baggio has been very helpful to me as well. The content is feasibly readable and I find her strategies so useful to me. Just reading chapter 10, I never knew using font Sans serif would make the reader easier to see the screen. Also, she said the three most important things in a presentation are levity, brevity, and repetition. I had my students present their PBL on Crossfit. My students were required to keep it under five minutes and go over the exercises repeatedly. What surprised me how tech savvy my students already were. Their presentations were outstanding. I believe your 4th graders will do well in their technology presentations.

Jose, having your one on one is going to help you tremendously! I love that you are reflecting not only as an educator but also as a person. I think it's great, that you are contemplating the idea of doing lessons on video for your students. Imagine all the skills the students (especially ELL's) will be obtaining from learning through video. I don't know if you have tried "Wevideo" ? I just recently learned about it, let me know if you like it?
